(or newer).Setup steps
Install fieldbus board
Mount the option board in the robot controller.Setup MotoLogix
Activate the (paid) option function (by Yaskawa) and setup MotoLogix for the desired fieldbus and PLC architecture.Setup fieldbus
Define the fieldbus data packet for MotoLogix.Set parameters
Set the internal parameters required for MotoLogix usage.
The setup process requires the robot controller to be in maintenance mode
and a sufficient authorization level (management
or higher).

Activate maintenance mode:
- Power off
- Press (and hold) main menu
- Power on
- Release main menu when the beeping sound is heard (usually within a few seconds)
Change the authorization level:
- system » security » select
- select the desired level using ▼ ▲ » select
- enter the password and press enter
Install fieldbus board
Yaskawa robot controllers use various fieldbus solutions:

---|---|
JANCD-ABB02-E | 2xPCIe |
JANCD-ABB04-E | 1xPCI, 1xPCIe |
Loosen the screws and remove the installation frame from the CPU rack:
Insert the PCIe card into the corresponding slot (1 or 2) and tighten the screw:
Install the installation frame into the CPU rack and fasten it again with the screws:
Setup MotoLogix
Open the MotoLogix option function settings: system » setup » option function » motologix
Customers: Please contact Yaskawa if the MotoLogix option function is not available in the list.Activate the MotoLogix option function:
This requiresYaskawa
authorization level and cannot be changed by the customer.Enter the settings:
item value FUNCTION ENABLED
CONNECTION TYPE VARAN
ENDIANNESS LITTLE
Customers can disable MotoLogix afterwards by settingFUNCTION
toDISABLED
.TheENDIANNESS
(byte order) depends on the PLC cpu architecture.Use enter to confirm and leave the settings screen.

Open the board settings: system » setup » option board » CIFX 50E-RE
Enter the settings:
item value CIFX 50E-RE USED (MotoLogix)
IO SIZE + MotoLogix 0 byte + 436 byte
FIELDBUS VARAN
Customers can adjust these default settings to their needs.
Example: To add an optional non-MotoLogix data packet of e.g.
32 byte
set the value to32 byte + 436 byte
.The size of theMotoLogix
data packet is fixed and shall not be changed.Adding a non-MotoLogix data packet might require to change/shift the address mapping of the MotoLogix data packet in the PLC.Use enter (multiple times) to confirm this- and the following screens. Don’t make any changes in these following screens (keep default IO allocation).
